Overview
After a collision, a vehicle may have damage that is not obvious from the driver’s seat. A loose bumper, damaged wheel area, broken light or fluid leak can make driving it a poor choice, even when the engine still runs.
D-Fenders Collisions provides towing service for vehicles that need to be moved after an accident or brought in for auto body repair. In Tempe, Arizona, the first step is to discuss the vehicle’s condition and where it needs to go so the towing request can be handled with the right information.
Good to know
When to call for a tow
The car will not move under its own power
A vehicle that will not start, will not shift, or cannot roll needs transport rather than a drive to the repair shop.
Damage is affecting a wheel or tyre
A bent wheel area, damaged tyre or suspension concern can make even a short trip risky. Describe the damage before the tow is arranged.
You need the vehicle moved for repair
If a collision has left the vehicle at home or another location, towing can bring it to D-Fenders Collisions for an auto body repair assessment.
Our process
How the tow is handled
-
Discuss the vehicle and location
Tell us where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, and what happened. Information about whether it starts, rolls and has damage around the wheels helps clarify the towing request.
-
Review the loading needs
The vehicle’s condition is considered before loading. A car with collision damage may need extra care around loose body parts, damaged wheels or other affected areas.
-
Secure the vehicle for transport
The vehicle is positioned for transport and secured before it is moved. Tie-down points and wheel placement are checked as part of the loading process.
-
Move it for the next step
Once secured, the vehicle is transported to the agreed location so the auto body technicians can assess the collision damage and discuss the repair.
